RESEARCH ABSTRACT: we conducted a city wide survey of Jammu city to understand the current architectural and interior design trends in the city. Basis the survey it was found that a very mixed bag options is what is being constructed which is more of a copy of what is being constructed in larger metropolitan cities of India. Basis this finding we arrived at a concept of thematic interiors for the space which was also based on usage of materials in the interior. The displaced porch was yet another unique item that was created for this design assuming that it shall become a talking point of design of the building. The Porch as been highlighted by using a dark background of dark grey cladding material with stark white and wood texture finish for the porch front.
CHALLENGE: the project was handed over to us with all the columns erected and last but one slabs casted. the building was a a mere block with any massing or any thought for the facade of the building. To develop a facade for a nondescript block became the most challenging part of this project. We reorganized vertical functions in the building basis the existing slab heights. The bar was positioned on the first floor which was moved to the 4th floor and the second banquet hall originally on the 2nd floor was moved here. the room were moved to the 2nd and the third floor from the original 3rd and 4th floor. the terrace was a new addition with a roof top restaurant. With all the reorganizing of floor the next big challenge was to plan the services for all floor functions accordingly.
